THOMAS R. NANCE : July 16, 1965 - September 5, 2008

Tom Nance, a key member of the SHERMAN'S WAY family, and one of my closest friends for nearly 30 years, was struck and killed while riding his motorcycle in Los Angeles late yesterday. The tragic loss that we all feel is almost indescribable. Tom's laugh-out-loud script and years of hard work on the film were invaluable. His late in life pursuit of an acting career began in earnest with his debut as DOUGIE the car salesman in SW and will always be a reminder of just how multi-talented he was. Tom also designed our logo, website, poster and other sales collateral. To say he is irreplacable is putting it mildly. He was one of a kind.

A huge talent. A great friend. A tragic loss. I'll miss you, Tommy.

I gave tommy a great chance in life. even though he is/was a piece of snake crap. hope too confirm he is in hell and playing lucifers skin flute. certainly he is there and with two lips on an organ preferrably the horned one himself. I only give back the respect he gave me, [with interest.]
